Title: Intraocular Lenses
Inventor: PAINE TIMOTHY
IPC: A61F2/16
Filed: 2013-09-18
Abstract: An intraocular lens to be implanted in a human eye has a lens body 112 and a plurality of elongate lens body supports 114. The lens body has an anterior side 116 that in use faces outwardly of the eye and a posterior side 118 that faces inwardly of the eye. The lens body supports project from the lens body and are configured to permit fixing of the lens body onto the exterior of the capsular bag of the human eye, such that contraction or relaxation of the ciliary muscle acts on the lens body supports to apply a focussing force which deforms the lens body. The lens body supports may have hooks 126 to secure the lens around the periphery of the capsular bag. The lens body supports may be adjustable in length using a series of protrusions (244, see figure 6) and indentations 246.

Title: Method of dynamic balance for magnetic levitation molecular pump
Inventor: ZHANG KAI
IPC: F04D19/04
Filed: 2012-11-22
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of dynamic balance for a magnetic levitation molecular pump involving starting a force controlled imbalance vibration control module after actuating a magnetic levitation molecular pump electric motor (8). If under the control of the force controlled imbalance vibration control module, an unbalance mass on a rotor makes the maximum radial vibration amplitude of the rotor when accelerating not exceed 1/2 of a protective clearance, the force controlled imbalance vibration control module can inhibit the co-frequency vibration of the rotor, meaning that the rotational speed of the rotor can very quickly exceed the critical rotational speed for the rigidity thereof. As a result, at a relatively high speed, an influence coefficient method is used to perform a dynamic balancing operation on the rotor of the magnetic levitation molecular pump. The method of dynamic balancing can directly perform a dynamic balancing operation on the rotor of the magnetic levitation molecular pump at high speed, the steps are simple and the efficiency is high.

Title: Wear levelling in non-volatile memories
Inventor: Andreas Lars Sandberg
IPC: G11C16/34
Filed: 2015-12-10
Abstract: Apparatus methods and computer program implementation for improved wear-levelling in for example non-volatile memory (NVM) array devices in particular Flash, Phase Change Memory PCM, PCRAM, Resistive RAM, RRAM, ReRAM and Correlated Electron Material RAM (CEM, CeRAM). The wear-levelling technique operates on small blocks within a memory device, at a finer scale (granularity) than that used by common wear-levelling techniques which often remap large blocks (e.g. several kilobytes) of data. The method comprises determining a first physical memory address of a first block of physical memory which is configured to store data from a write operation; shuffling write data 16 to be stored within the memory array to provide shuffled data and then writing the shuffled data to the first block of physical memory. Shuffling 16 may comprise applying a configuration function to determine an intra-block mapping scheme (or select predefined schemes) and subsequently applies the scheme to the write data. For example a logical address (LA) of the write data and/or the physical memory address PA may be inputted into the configuration function to provide the intra mapping scheme which may also be determined for a table or may be a hash function. A reversal process is used in order to retrieve the original data, comprising reading the shuffled data from the first block of physical memory using the configuration function to re-determine the intra-block mapping scheme to reverse the shuffled data, and which may further comprise a partial re-writing of the original data. The method may also include identifying the physical address of a second free block of memory and assigning the second address to the shuffled data and writing the shuffled data to the identified second block. Embodiments include apparatus and processor based computer program to implement the above method.
